NBC’s Soboroff on Sen. Padilla Being Handcuffed: ‘People Are Going To Be Out in the Streets’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SOBOROFF: “Remember what Kristi Noem said just seconds before? I don’t think this has gotten enough attention. Before. The senior senator from California was put down on the ground and placed into handcuffs and detained by federal agents, she said that the city of Los Angeles needed to be liberated from the socialists that were on the streets of Los Angeles. Look behind me. Does it look like this is a city that needs to be liberated? On the contrary, this is a city that is terrified to come out into the streets because of what is going on. At least a particular population of this city. I guarantee you that people will be out in the streets tomorrow, standing up for the rights of those people. And Alex Padilla, the senator, son of pacoima of the northeast San Fernando Valley, son of two Mexican immigrants, one of whom was a short order cook, the other who cleaned houses in order to send him to mit and come back and represent this state in the United States Senate. People are going to be out in the streets protesting what happened to him. The outrage is palpable.”
